stuck a firecracker in somebody's mouth? So, I read in the newspapers that there was this nut - - who held people at gunpoint and forced cherry bombs in their mouths. I knew it was Drago, so I told the police. You didn't prevent a crime. You betrayed a client. - You violated the code of ethics. - What are you talking about? - What's going on? - Arthur, they want you. You're a very principled lawyer with no political ties. I tell ya... They want me to defend Fleming because of my moral integrity. And if I don't defend him I'll be disbarred for being unethical. Look, Arthur. Put aside your personal feelings. Take the case. You've worked too hard. Don't throw your career away. I can't believe this. I just don't believe it. - Judge, I want McCullaugh freed. - Nothing can be done. I don't buy that, Judge. Just reopen the case. Reopen the case and I'll get him acquitted. Now look. You are in no position to ask for anything. But I'll see what I can do to help. Perhaps there's an exception to the statute. Okay. Okay. So, why don't you tell me about the girl? This Leah Shephard. Can you tell me anything about her? What do you want to know? I saw her a few times. She works at City Hall. - Did you have sex on the first date? - Yes. First and second time. - That's why this makes no sense. - What do you think happened to her? I assure you I did not rape her, but... I really don't know. Maybe an angry boyfriend showed up after I left. Angry boyfriend? That's a little mild, don't you think? She wasn't just raped, she was sadistically beaten and sodomized. That's a bit beyond angry boyfriend. You're right. I'm sorry. How did I get into this? I've been involved in the law for thirty years. And I can't find five people who'll believe I'm innocent. - Will you take a lie detector test? - Why? It's not admissible evidence. I know. I would like you to do it for me. - I'll think about it. - No, no... - I said, I would think about it. - You can't do this. I need a polygraph to prepare your case. - If I'm going to be your lawyer... - If you're going to be? - Mr Kirkland, you are my lawyer. - I know. I'm your lawyer. And as your lawyer there are certain demands... As I said to you before, you don't demand anything. Now sit down. I have a lot of work to do. I said, sit down. Leave it out here. - Jeff, what happened to you? - Somebody beat me up. - What for? - I don't know. I didn't ask. Listen, I talked to Fleming. We'll work something out. We'll get you out of here. When? It's gonna take maybe three weeks. I promise I'll get you out by then. - Three weeks? - That's the best I can do. - You must be kidding. - It's the best I can do. - What am I supposed to do? - You're gonna have to hang in there. - Just take care of yourself. - Take care? I got myself locked up in solitary to get away from some guys. I can't fight. You read about guys being let out of prison because it's too crowded. And here I am and I didn't do nothing. If that doesn't beat all. I know, Jeff. You can't lose hope. Understand me? You can't lose hope. Happy Thanksgiving. - I bet we're gonna have good turkey. - Of course we are. Where's your teeth? You need your teeth if you're gonna eat turkey. Where's your teeth, Grandpa? Did I have my teeth last time you were here? Of course you had. You had teeth this morning. He doesn't remember so well. - What did I do with my teeth? - He's very proud of you. He always talks about his grandson studying to become a lawyer. I wish he could remember that I am a lawyer. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. So what? He's still proud. Arnie, are you sure I had my teeth this morning? I know you had teeth. What's that? By the television. All right. I'm ready. I hope your friend won't mind me coming. No, Arnie. This is Thanksgiving. There will be a lot of people. You'll be all right.
